Anyone who's met Cameron Colvin knows he's gotten this far by finding a way to succeed regardless of the obstacles. This is a guy who lost both of his parents at an early age, was raised by his godfather, and lost his best friend Terrance Kelly two days before leaving for Oregon. That's enough to...[details]

2005 (Sophomore): Continued to develop and shows flashes of brilliance, but will need to step up his game come next year. 2006 will be his time to shine as Demetrius Williams graduates and Colvin become the heir apparent to step in to the go to guy role. Caught 23 balls for over three hundred yards and three touchdowns as well as a rushing TD.

2004 (Freshman): Completed first collegiate year sixth on the team in receiving while earning one starting nod at California. Turned in breakout game against Washington, posting collegiate-bests of six catches for 45 yards and two touchdowns. Also posted one catch for 52 yards vs. UCLA.

2003 (Redshirt): HIGH SCHOOL ó One of Oregonís most decorated signees in several years, the SuperPrep Elite 50 pick ranked by the magazine as one of Californiaís top prep prospect as well as the nationís second-best receiver by Rivals.com.

Included was a season-high six receptions 120 yards and two TDs in CIF championship game vs. Pittsburg. Added six grabs against Evangel Christian (La.) and in the first meeting against Pittsburg, converting three of them into the end zone in the latter appearance. Pulled down 14 receptions for 405 yards and four scores as a prep junior. Characterized as an explosive athlete with an unmatched understanding of the game, as well as possessing the speed to separate himself from defenders to complement his ability to run crisp routes.

OREGON - Possesses the natural ability to fill the void as program's go-to receiver, yet sometimes coaches are hardest on those with the most untapped potential. Has demonstrated flashes of proficiency of catching the ball in traffic and possesses the football speed to break away from defenders. Also exhibits good pad level and doesn't shy away from his role as a blocker. Yet a lack of consistency remains as one of few hurdles to overcome in his quest to reach the next level. Spring injury hampered his progress, thus continued hard work over the summer will key his development. One of his greatest attributes remains his awareness of any deficiencies and his desire to overcome them. Often applauded for his attitude and work ethic in the past, the time is ripe for him to assume a leadership role. Topped players at his position with a 320-lb. bench press (personal 15-lb. PR) during '06 winter testing after surpassing position's previous all-time best with 445-lb. squat in 2005.
